Posted this on the "other" site.
But figure this place could use something new. This past Saturday I bought a retired race car no motor or transaxle. Full roll cage, some gauges, Koni's, Kirkey seat, fiberglass front and rear bumpers. Near perfect stock late doors. ( don't know why a race car would have such heavy doors but......) I will swap them for the FG skinned early doors from the RNR. Floors are original and very solid, rear trunk has one tiny hole the size of a dime in drivers rear corner. front trunk shows evidence of going faster than the guy ahead of him. Nothing major just banged a bit. My Yellow car has nearly the same thing. Longs are the most solid of any 914 I have ever seen. Battery tray has been replaced and is rusty. It will get removed for good. I think they are stupid. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Made some decent progress in the last few weeks. I cut off the bent up front Apron head lights and support rails. cleaned up the pockets under the head lights. probably lost 10 pounds in sand mud and leaves.
Welded on the better front apron section from Boosted's rusted white car. looks great. Also have most of the floor pans cleaned up and ospho coated. Rebuilt the pedal assembly with the weltmiester bushings. Fixed the 150 MPH speedo as the Odoneter was not working. ( I don't think I have ever bought a car that that damn thing worked). Stripped the wiring harness out which was pretty hacked. Welded up one side of the rear shock tower to long junction and put a plate over it to put a brace tube to the cage.(haven't cut the tube yet). |
